BMW Group is using the Nvidia Omniverse platform to design a digital factory that will open in 2025.
The carmaker aims to bring the power of industrial AI to its entire production network as part of its digital transformation.
- BMW is leading the trend of going digital-first by using the virtual world to optimize layouts, robotics, and logistics systems years before production starts.
- The company is expanding its use of the Nvidia Omniverse platform for building and operating industrial metaverse applications across its production network worldwide.
- With Omniverse, BMW can aggregate data into massive, high-performance models, connect their domain-specific software tools, and allow multi-user live cooperation.
- The virtual planning session for BMW’s Debrecen EV plant has been showcased in a keynote demo at the Nvidia GTC 2023 spring event.
- By starting work in the virtual factory two years before it opens, BMW aims to ensure smooth operation and optimal efficiency.
